Default Dog saved while taking wildlife photos

Last Sunday we were returning home from taking wildlife photos and as we rounded a curve on a country road my wife spotted something poking it's head up out of the weeds. I thought about it a second and decided to turn around and go see what it was. When we got turned around and pulled over to the side of the this is what came bounding out. The vet looks to be part beagle and cow dog and we have just falling in love with her. Meet Sadie our newest family friend.

She's so cute. Great story and great rescue. We did the same thing once while on a motorcycle ride. We went into a vacant cul-de-sac and out comes an abandoned dog. My wife immediately slips off the back of the bike and it was all over...She was a great dog. Hope this one works out well for you.

Oh I'm so glad you went back...amazing what those impulses can lead to. She is so adorable, especially the 2nd pic. What are you going to name her? Good for you.
